How do I figure out calories/nutrients per serving?

I'm making a homemade soup for dinner tonight. I'm curious how I figure out the calories and nutrient content for each serving? Is there a site that I can use to input the ingredients and it will break it down for me? I have to admit this is one of the reasons I find calorie counting frustrating as I try to make most of my meals from scratch.

  • If you click on Food and then choose Recipes, there's a place to enter a recipe, and also a Recipe Calculator. Maybe that will do it? I've never tried it so, good luck!

    Calculate the calories and macros for the whole thing, and measure/estimate the portion of it that you eat.
